The Problem with cockpit door locks.

The biggest problem with cockpit door locks is that they exclusively lock from the cockpit side. Thus there is nothing to protect the travelling public from the Pilots going crazy mid-flight and shooting everyone in the cabin. Whilst it is true that some of this risk has been mitigated by the mandatory security screening of Pilots, the only way to eliminate this risk entirely is to 'seal' the pilots in by having door locks only on the cabin side.

I propose that we send in a submission to a senator about this blatent security oversight.
